"Lightening"
30cm wide X 21cm height
An old partly made beginnings of a quilt had come into Workaid made out of beautifully coloured 4"pieces. I brought it, took it to pieces and made this small hanging which the colours inspired.
Appliqued cottons with black silhouette machined into place with dark metallic thread for the rain and white metallic thread for the lightening.

"Storm and Shelter"
83cm wide X 96cm height
Inspired by a Christmas card I had received of an image "Winter 1911" by Kandinsky. At first I had thought it was the colours that appealed to me but on further reflection it was the subconscious need to seek shelter in a storm that I found fascinating. We used to sail and the concept of leading lights indicating the safe route into harbour evolved into this hanging.
Hand dyed pieced cottons, minimal quilting.
